    140 is shaping up to be a Hot Division

    With fighters like Victor Ortiz and Timothy Bradley.

    And Judah and Berto talking of dropping to Junior Welter.

    Then you got Paulie and Ricky.

    And there are plenty of other fighters that can still make noise at 40 out there:

    Kendall Holt, Junior Witter, Vivian Harris, Colombian power houses, Juan Urango and Ricardo Torres.

    You also got huge punchers at lightweight that are surely gonna move up in the following years, Edwin Valero and Breidis Prescott.

    140 has potential, lets hope the right fights get made.

      You can add Andreas Kotelnik to that list

      Kotelnik is the WBA world champion and the most underrated fighter in boxing...he can beat anyone at 140.

          Don't forget Devon Alexander who has the potential to be the king of the 140lb division from what I've seen of him.

            And lets not forget Paul Williams who is rumored to making a stop at 140 on his way to junior featherweight to challenge Juanma in what is surely a fair fight.

              Too bad Torres can't take it as good as he can dish it out. Wit his power dude would be an absolute beast if he had a thicker beard.

                No shame thought in being layed out the way he has been though. Those were monsterous shots both times/

                  I'd like to see Urango-vs-Torres Holt-vs-Witter wouldn't be bad either.
